But you can still get it from the system. On XP Pro
(maybe other Windows systems too?) place this in a.r
out <- system("wmic /output:stdout process", intern = TRUE)
out <- sapply(out, function(x) substr(x, 1, nchar(x)-1))
print(strsplit(grep("rcmd.exe.*batch", tolower(out), value = TRUE), "
*")[[1]][4])
and then at the command line type:
Rcmd BATCH a.r
and it will print out a.r
